For spring, the nice days and Henley's Suits,
Pants and Spring Overcoats. The grandest,
the most stylish and the cheapest, consistent
with the quality, that ever came into this
or any other town or county in this part of
the state. My lowest prices on pants for
this season will be 800. IL you want a
pair of pants for less than 81, go to the
ready made clothing house, where you will
get better pair than any tailor can furnish
you for less then that money. NV
highest priced pants are $14.0O. Come and
look at the goods. Do not be bulldozed into
the belief that you can get anything that is
first class for less than it is worth. Tailor
ing is no exception to the rule. A man that
is capable of doing first class work cannot
and will not work for less than his labor is
worth. Bear that IN mind. On the other
hand man that is not able to do first class
work must work for low price, else he will
not get any thing TO do. The people OF Paw
Paw were long pestered with cheap tailors.
Do not encourage them any more. The
world is advancing in every art and science;
the people around us are progressing in all
that tends TO make sweet to man the burdens
of life itself, and bear IN mind that nowhere
are those strides more manifest than at
HENLEY'S Tailoring Establishment, now

The following is an editorial in
the Grafton Standard Enterprise,
which, as we are reliably informed,
is partly owned by Internal Revenue
Collector McGraw and is edited by
his deputy. O. ;. Mckinney:
Jim Mason's Occupation Gone.
The New York World, of Deem
Der 2Sth, publishes the following as
part Of an article on the failure Of
Soutter & Co:
W. X. SOUtter, once q prominent Wall
street operator and the head of the firm
Of SOutter q Co, was arrested on war
rant charging him with larceny. He
was indicted, being charged with misap-
priating over $4,000 of the estate OF his
father, James t. Soutter.
This gentleman is one of a firm
which owned the major part of West
Virginia certificates. This firm
bought up the certificates. They
Immediately secured the services Of
lawyers. editors and influential poll
ticians in both States to force on
West Virginia an Indebtedness the
naymcnt OF which would have i'm
poyerisbrd our people. 1t will be re-
membercd that the first evidence Of
this attempted robbery was the en-
ployment by Sout,er d Go. Of J. NJ.
Mason AMI the establishment by
him Of the DrNOCRAT for the pur-
pose of abusing, blackmailing and
silcnejng every man of prominence
who stood n the way Of their nefa-
rious schemes. ACer several years
Of toll they now retire bankrupt in
business and the senior member Of
this outrageous conspiracy is arrest
ell for stealing $4,000 Of trust
fund. This is a proper sequel to
the great theft which Soutter Il Co,
aided by such plant tools as j. NJ.
Mason. tried 20 foist on our people,
and its announcement gives satisfac-
ton to the people Of this State,
although il may carry desolation to
the hearts Of Mason snd his follow

CURIOUS STATISTICS.

The Richmond Vhsg, Oh Jan"s's
lst comments as follows on recent
publication:
The comparisons of geographic,
areas and of national conditions am
resources are astonishing.
Who. without giving special
thought to the subject, would mag
inc that the State of Texas embraces
$4,000 square miles of territory
more than the Austrian Empire, 63,-
600 more than the great German
Empire, and 10000 more than the
Republic of France? Or that Cali
fornia and each Of four Territories,
has a greater area than Great Brit
ain ana Irela.d? Or that Kansas
or Missouri IS each larger than Tur-
kew in Europe, and that Florida is
larger than England and Wales? Or
that Virginia is larger than Portu-
gal. and West Virginia larger than
Servia. the Netherlands, Greece,
Switzerland, Denmark or Belgium:
Yet these comparisons are strictly
true.
In population the United States
is now second only to Russia among
civilized nations; the lattef con
tanning S7,105,OS9, to our 1920
GOO. Each of the other great Euro
pean powers fall under this number
by several millions.
We have 100000 square miles
Of arabic lands, and yet only 1872
600 are now in actual use, and this
area now produces all our grain, hay
cotton. sugar, rice, tobacco, beef,
pork. mutton, dairy products, fruits,
and garden vegetables, amounting to
billions OF dollars in value.
Computations of wealth, such as
are given in the census, are not
much value. Progress in wealth
can, perhaps, be measured. as accu-
ratelv by the amount of insurance
against loss by fire as by any other
standard. In1S59 the total amount
of risks taken was 81, 49S, 569,125.
In 1885 the aggregate was $lO,5l7,
940,175. So that taking these two
totals as approximately accurate
summaries of our plative national
wealth at the dateShamed, our prog
ress in wealth in the twenty six
years between them is represented
by the mammoth sum of $9,019.371,

the figures mean just what they rep

of our material growth find concise
The deposits in the savings banks
of Massachusetts now amount to

Our venerable friend Mr.. James
Sinclair, father-in-law OF the late h.
w. Castleman, of "Woodburn," jeff
erson county, w. Va, has just passed
his ninetieth birthday. We seldom
see one at this great age possessing
so much physical power and mental
strength. His memory clear and
concise, well filled with good and
useful knowledge, showing finely
trained and we'll balanced mind,
making him most pleasant and com
panionable at all times. Growing
old so beautifully, a pleasure to his
household and honored by a large
circle of friends, drawn to him by
that kindliness, blended with gen
tleness, humility and holiness which
is at all times crown to the hoary
head. He for many years lived IN
Leesburg, Loudoun county, Va,
where he held offices of trust among
a people who respected and loved
him and whom he served with honor
and faithfulness. When last he Wis
tied his early home that cordial feel
inc which welcomed him back to
s.the old hone" showed that he had
lot lived in vain.
Dark shadows have crossed his
hearthstone. The strong man and
the frail child have alike fallen be
fore ''the Reaper" while he stands
as a fulfillment of the commandment
with promise. He has seen three
generations rise up and call him
blessed, and while his faculties and
health continue so good we trust ne
may be bright and living example
of manhood and ripe old age for
many years longer.

The small coal operators Of the
Third and Fourth pools are trying

purpose Of breaking up the Pitts

troll prices below Louisville in order
to cover the losses they suffer ut

No. ), running at As miles per hour
collided with freight train running
at 20 miles an hour, causing telc
scope as clean cut and disastrous as

ton. A few minutes after the wreck
the cars were in flames. About s

worth of property DESTROYED.
Among the passengers who were
killed, were Joseph Postlethwaite

the three younger children, one an
infant. escaped without injury. He
had on his person five hundred dol
lars in cash, check for six hundred
dollars and several promisary notes
all of which were burned with his
body. Mrs. Postlethwaite with
three children were left with no
clothing except what thev had on
and only 80 cent in money. The
poor woman was frantic with grief
and will remain in the village OF
Republic, Ohio, until she hear from
her friends in this State.

pay their own way and do not travel
